NJ Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 172 yards a game average. And for the first time in quite awhile, I can notice a difference on the field. Guys don't "hawk" to the ball - no where near the intensity that you see with GB, Seattle, the Bears, hell even the crummy Fish. This is something that can change within this season - and it needs to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Yes the defense does not get a free ride for their poor perfomeance against the run so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Dont think it can change within the season. Not with this LB group or really just this group of players in general. Total rebuild is necessary and just get ready for the draft/next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet27 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 There is a huge lack of intensity and urgency on this team.....this stems from leadership or lack thereof. The players on this team for the most part are the same players that were here in 08/09/10/11.....there is no excuse. The coaching is horrible. The game preparation is horrible. The in game adjustments are horrible. And the drafts are/were horrible. And its a shame. And it started in the second half of the Bills game. I am afraid to say it but Rex has reached his limit. Thats the truth and a direct result of what you see on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Yes the defense does not get a free ride for their poor perfomeance against the run so far im giving the D a free ride. 6 3 and outs, 2 interceptions and 1 fumble. all before the Holmes give up play. The offense puts the defense in horrible situations and the defense is the only halfway decent part of this team. Wait that's not true. the punter is also okay. But generally I blame the offense. this is the NFL points will be scored. Except by the Jets offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 the Jets got gashed for about 150 yards in the first half- a lot from the wildcat where the slowness of our team was exposed- I am not giving that a mulligan maybe you can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsFanInDenver Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Slow ? That would be an upgrade for this defense. Harris looks like he has a fetish for watching the RB's backs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 This run D has started and ended with Scott and Pouha since day one of the Rex era. Pouha had a very slow start last year and I think he'll come around, but Scott is pretty much toast. Thomas also isn't nearly the player that he was and Harris might very well be the most overpaid LB in the league. Pace has been great against the pass but he's clearly lost some of his pop when engaging OL and that's probably just a product of aging more than anything else. This is what happens when you run a 3-4 and don't draft to continuously reinforce your LB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I hear that and agree - why isn't Davis on the field? These guys watch film. My guess is that he's simply not ready. He only saw a handful of snaps against San Fran and I thought he looked really lost. The early word was that he was being groomed to replace Scott and that's a pretty complicated position to play. Not easy to transition into at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet27 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Can it get any lower than last week? can we lose even worse? The answer is YES IT CAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsFanInDenver Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I mean if we can tackle that will resolve 75% of the problems this defense has. We haven't got the point of missing Revis as yet because all the 49ers did was run! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I bet against the Jets I'd take the texans minus 7 all day. They might score 40 plus on this D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offense puts the defense in horrible situations and the defense is the only halfway decent part of this team. Wait that's not true. the punter is also okay. But generally I blame the offense. this is the NFL points will be scored. Except by the Jets offense. I actually agree. The defense was doing its job...even getting the offense good field position on occasion. It should have been at least a 7-3 game going into the half. Not much more you can ask of your defense. Then they forced a couple punts and Sanchez throws the ball to another defensive lineman. The defense gave the offense plenty of opportunities on Sunday.

I also see this point and i have to agree that at some point the defense is going to say WTF is going on over here with the offense, perhaps that's exactly whats going on. I really hope it is and we can fix somethings. I don't want this season going in the toilet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
